I gave the chocolate flavoring 3 stars only because once you get past the smell, the taste isn't so bad. Don't know if I got something different than other reviewers, but the smell of what I got is truly awful! Very strong chemical smell. It's really hard to get past that. Other flavors I've tried have had pleasant smells and taste fine. Do like that overall Monin is thicker than the other brand. Personally, I won't be buying this flavor again.

I ordered the Monin Sugar-free Blackberry syrup. It was OK, but had somewhat of a "cigar" taste about it. I will be trying other flavors. I probably won't buy that flavor again unless I try it in a different brand. I have 2 more flavors on the way so we will see what those are like.

I generally love the Monin' syrups, but the raspberry keeps breaking down in the bottle. This has happened to me twice. It never happens with the vanilla or the white chocolate, so I have to think it's something acidic in the fruity flavors.

I really love the Monin O'Free blackberry and raspberry syrups, so I am sorry to say that the Hazelnut falls short. There simply isn't enough Hazelnut flavor relative to the sweetness - using enough to really taste the hazelnut results in over sweetening. Perhaps they could try a toasted hazelnut with a more intense flavor?
